New life Foundation for Community Rural Development - Nefcord

Impact Story: Restoring Hope Through Education and Community Support
Today, New Life Foundation for Community Rural Development (NeFCoRD) held an inspiring meeting with 25 young people (10 boys and 15 girls) participating in sports activities at Kamaiba Soccer Academy, who are also beneficiaries of the NeFCoRD poultry initiative.
During the meeting, the youth shared powerful testimonies about how NeFCoRD has supported their education through school fees assistance, bursaries, and scholastic materials funded through community-driven initiatives such as poultry.
One participant, Raphine, shared how she now feels confident about completing school because of the support she has received. Although she had secured a 100% sports bursary at Fr. Kanyonza Memorial School through NeFCoRD, she lacked a school uniform and feared she would miss the opportunity. NeFCoRD stepped in and provided the uniform she needed to begin her studies.
Another beneficiary, Kebirungi Patricia, emotionally shared her journey. Currently in her third semester with full support from NeFCoRD, Patricia reflected on the difficult period after losing her mother while in Senior Four in 2024.
“I didn’t know how I was going to enroll for my dream course after my mother died while in Senior Four in 2024. NeFCoRD has given me hope and restored happiness. Thanks to the Ruben Fernandez Association family for supporting NeFCoRD. Today I have met other people whose lives the poultry project is impacting.”
Her story is a reminder that education support is more than paying fees; it restores hope, dignity, belonging, and the courage to dream again.
At NeFCoRD, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to stay in school, grow in confidence, and pursue their future regardless of their background or circumstances.
